Medusa feel very bad after the talents nerf. She really need a lot of space and somehow it looks like towers are falling down quickly lately.

Otherwise as well tanky heroes who like extended fights - Axe, Bristle and DK feels somehow without a role - when I am picking for offlane I dont even consider them. Probably as well due to the meta of their counters - ursa, LS, viper. And usually there is 1 out of these three in the game.

why are ppl saying omni, wk or lycan are bad? all of them are really op atm (wk only in lower mmr tho)... lycan actually is the highest winrate hero in higher brackets of all heroes, omni really good offlaner in all skill levels. worst heroes of the patch are something like ta, bristle, abaddon, slark and puck

lycan got high winrate because he didnt get picked that much even on higher bracket, so the only one playing him would be someone that knows how to, hence the high winrate. I played lycan in most patch, and i can guarantee you he's pretty shit right now.

Also, tiny now reverts back to the trashy tree grab and massive CD avalanche if not maxed, so his early game is wrecked so much, he doesnt even walk fast and now with Phaseboot and sangyash nerf, he is pretty trashy

Lycan is actually pretty good, he is fastest at taking down tower and with just HOD necrominicon he can outclass many carry midgame and come online fast. He is also sustainable at laning with the extra armor.

Also, he is one of the few heroes who can utilize nullifier bloodthorn combo well with his minions

I think there is better options for a offlane/carry than LC and Abaddon.

Silencer is situational at best and when teams doesnt run a long cool down heavy lineup Silencer is kinda useless. Yes he can spam some harass in lane but he cant stun, he cant heal, he needs alot of items to not be a walking creep.
(Sorry Potato the forums silencer spammer)

Dunno why folks are hating on omni... My most played hero with a 60% winrate ... And some 90% of those were as a support either safelane or offlane. He's only weak till you get 2 points in purification after which he trades fairly well with most melees.

He's not necessarily a lane dominating support which imho is the main reason he is not picked much in this meta which very much emphasizes the laning stage. But you can always pair him with a strong laning core to balance off the first couple of levels... Just my 2 cents...
